Nope, just ignorant and that's a condition that can be easily fixed with accurate information.
A complete twonk or idiot is someone who can't be helped no matter how much information is given to them.
RoadKingRon1,
Did you have to remap the ECM to get the Silverstars to turn yellow?
When I installed them in my bike I had to update my Thundermax maps to show them or the engine wouldn't run properly.
OldGeezer,
That wasn't nice telling him to pull off the rear wheel like that. You know damn well you only have to take the drive belt off.

Take off the handlebars, seat and rear wheel. Put a coin in the bottom of the bulb lens and turn it counterclockwise. The lens will fall on the garage floor breaking into a million peices. Go to the Harley shop, get a new lens, install the new bulb and lens. Reinstall the handlebars, seat and rear wheel. You didn't really have to do the rear wheel, just makes the post more interesting.
Oh and I forgot, if you change the bulb yourself, it will void your warranty.

That was foul. Funny as hell but foul.
